I've spent the last three weeks taking six business-oriented Chromebooks through their paces. I started out as a skeptical Windows-rules-them-all kind of guy: I've been using Windows since the early days, and I've rarely strayed from the ghosts of my...

When you stop and think about it, it's kind of astonishing how far Chromebooks have come.It was only last February, after all, that Google's Chromebook Pixel came crashing into our lives and made us realize how good of an experience Chrome OS could...

After almost three years, it's still difficult to explain to techno-newbs just what the hell Google's Chrome OS and Chromebooks are exactly.Content will look superb on the Pixel's 2460x1700 high-pixel-density screen.Browser-only OS? No, when we tell...

This is ultimately the best laptop I've owned. It's also the most expensive (I sprung for the 64GB LTE version). However, even though I spent over $1,500 after shipping and tax, this is one item that I have yet to experience any buyer's remorse....

The Pixel Chromebook is a halo product, a showcase product. Google did not plan on generating revenues with the Pixel. For a first stab at designing high-end laptop hardware, it is a solid product. I was skeptical about the value of the Pixel...

The very clean design of the Chromebook is impressive, and the high-resolution touchscreen really brings computing to life. For example, if I was using Google Maps and went into Street View, by putting it into full-screen mode it's almost like being...

There are some products that come out that make you just wonder why they exist. Google released the Chromebook as a low cost PC that Google says is “For Everyone!” With Chromebooks starting as low as 199.99, it's not hard to think twice about picking one...

Google's content to bring all of Chrome's features to every platform, so that the success of the web as a platform can be available to all. So, if you're not ready, consider the rMBP. If, on the other hand, you're ready to leave all other platforms behind, and set forth with only Chrome by your side, then you'll find no better option than the Chromebook Pixel.

As we've stated throughout this review, the Chromebook Pixel is really the first machine to do Chrome OS justice. Google's careful selection of high-end components ensure a fast and fluid experience throughout, regardless of whether you're watching...

Earlier this year, when Google announced the Chromebook Pixel we all thought Mountain View was trolling us. When it was first leaked, we figured it would sell for about $500-700, since the other Chromebooks available are around $199-300. But Google...

Geeks are odd creatures, and I should know. They/we spend a great deal of time trying to convince others to adopt technologies they don't need and that aren't practical. The media is swept along by the nonsense – note the hoo-ha over wearable technology...

So today, a nice package from Google showed up on my doorstep. It is the Chromebook Pixel. Now before we get into doing a full fledged review, I figured I'd go ahead and do a nice unboxing and initial thoughts post on the Pixel. Sorta like a teaser for...

Google Chromebook Pixel The Pixel places itself in a unique position . On one hand, the overall quality of the hardware and construction, even down to the speakers, is one of the best in its size class . It's thin without being fragile, rigid without...

The Chromebook Pixel looks and feels like a high quality device, and it foreshadows a revolution in computing. But the price tag is very high for a laptop that is currently so restricted in terms of...

Yeah, we know – it doesn't run Android, and really, it has nothing to do with Android. But it is a Google product, so by default it's at least tangentially related - call it Android's cousin. It's also Google's statement that ChromeOS is important,...
